MODERATORS
He's in a car that should be 1-2 in every race is the problem.
This isn't unprecidented though. All the way back to 2000, the second driver in the dominant car has had similar performance with the exception of 2014 - 2016 when Lewis and Nico absolutely dominated.
Go back and rewatch those seasons, compare it to this year's RB plus tires that are better understood and a monster DRS that should have him past most cars without any trouble. This is an easy job for Checo (or should be), I'd wager most of the drivers on the grid would be able to make a 1-2 stick. Marko knows this, Ricciardo in AT is soft pressure to warn Checo he needs to step up or step away.
